About this listen
In this episode, I’m talking about Cressie, a lake monster that people say lives in Crescent Lake near Robert’s Arm in Newfoundland. From what I could find, the stories go back at least to early newspaper reports, loggers on the water, and even much older Indigenous stories about water spirits in the area.
I walk through some of the reported sightings from the 1930s, 1960s, early 1990s, and 2000s, along with a few theories about what people might actually be seeing. Giant eel, drifting logs, misidentified animals, or maybe something we just don’t fully understand yet.
We also talk a bit about why lake monsters show up so often in Canadian lore, and how tricky it really is to prove or disprove anything in a deep, murky lake.
If creatures and quieter horror are your thing, you might like my novel Coma, which you can find at kdkulpa.com/writing.
